Cell phone mania is at an all-time high. A teenage in the city sustained grave injuries when a local train knocked him over while he was searching for his missing mobile phone on the tracks between Sion and Matunga stations. A friend halted another train to rush him to hospital. Apparently, the incident took place when the two Kurla-residents were heading to CST for work. They were standing near the door in an overcrowded train when one of them got a call. In his hurry to answer it, the phone fell on the tracks. But instead of letting it go, they alighted at the next station and got down on the tracks to search for the device.

So absorbed was the young man in the search for his phone, that he did not realise a train was approaching towards him. The train knocked him down and he hit his head on an iron rod. His friend had to stop another train to rush him to hospital.
